not a guide for real eaters

very little information here, & most restaurants are merely listed with address & no review. We know many of these cities & restaurants well, & at least half are not restaurants we would recommend to a friend. it seems the chefs want to list their friend's places and/or show they know the "big name, expensive" spots in every city. for example, in Las Vegas most chefs in town eat at Raku after work, but it is not even listed. this book is huge, is printed on very cheap rag paper, & you should save your money & instead read online reviews like open table VIP diners who are not trying to impress you.

More important for the food traveler than Immodium!
by busy shopper (5 out of 5 stars)

We bought the first edition and have worn it out in preparing for travels (ours and those of our friends). We have found some of the most amazing places that we never would have discovered on Yelp or Trip Advisor. You will certainly find many of the Michelin recognized restaurants, but the real benefit is the inclusion of high quality places that have not yet caught the eye of the big M as well as less formal eateries that will never be considered for a star.. Consulting the book has become part of our trip planning ritual. If food is an important part of your itinerary, this book is a must have. Thanks for the updates in the second edition!

Hasn't led me astray yet.

Oh gosh! this is a great go-to guide for traveling. I live in San Francisco and know a fair amount about the food scene here so I examined the San Francisco selection. Their restaurant selection was excellent and spanns 5 star restaurants to hole-in-the-wall diners that are absolute gems and I almost wish they didn't even mention (I don't like "my restaurants" getting crowded.) I travel a lot and have used this book for restaurants all over the world. It hasn't led me astray yet!

Fun, informative book
by JeffinEdina (5 out of 5 stars)

I purchased this book as a gift and it was a hit! The recipient is a bit of a foodie and travels a lot for his job, so it was fun for all of us to look through the book to find restaurants any of us had already been to, as well as find new ones to visit. My favorite part is that not every restaurant is expensive - local, reasonable favorites are also included. I plan on purchasing two copies of the new version when it's released - I only wish it had released before the holidays!

We have enjoyed using this book to guide us to new restaurants ...

We have enjoyed using this book to guide us to new restaurants as we have traveled. So far, we have really enjoyed each of the restaurants we tried. I would prefer a bit more detai on each of the restaurants but the book is already huge at 975 pages - there is just no room.

Aesthetically beautiful, and actually well-informed
by Nicole Frick (5 out of 5 stars)

Cute. Aesthetically beautiful, and actually well-informed. I gave it to a chef friend, intending for it to be just something cute to have on his bookshelf and he said it was pretty legit and had some excellent information in it. I don't know if he said it to flatter or if he said it because it's true, but either way it was a hit.

Best book for foodies

I saw this book in a book store in Charleston but was really expensive so I went on Amazon and found it. I love it and can't wait to try it. It is divided by country/city so you can pick based on your traveling.

I bought this as a gift for my parents this past Christmas. They are the kind of people who are impossible to buy for but they loved it! I bought another book in this series called Where Bartenders Drink to pair with this book. I have even been to a few of the recommend restaurants; they're great.

perfect for a foodie gift or for a hostess gift

definitely worth owning especially if you travel and want a "sure thing" restaurant. I used it for our recent trip to New York and the restaurant we chose from the book was outstanding!

The size of the book is very cute... perfect for a foodie gift or for a hostess gift.

I was so happy to get this book last week

I was so happy to get this book last week! First of all, I love leafing through it. It's out on my coffee table and everyone that comes over looks up destinations and makes wish lists of places to stop by. I think its really well organized and it's easy to find any destination. I definitely plan on using it for upcoming domestic and international travelling (and then using the app!). Really, it doesn't get better than getting recommendations from top chefs, especially for a foodie-beginner like me.
